to a conference committee
reporting the bill
Most bills goes to the Rules Committee. This committee sets conditions for debate and amendment when the whole House meets on the bill. In the Senate, the leader of the majority party set the schedule for debate by the whole Senate.
The house committee must pass it to the Senate committee
The process of how a bill becomes a law involves several steps: Introduction: A bill is introduced in either the House of Representatives or the Senate. Committee Review: The bill is reviewed and debated in a committee, where changes may be made. Floor Action: The bill is debated and voted on by the full chamber. Conference Committee: If the House and Senate versions of the bill are different, a conference committee resolves the differences. Presidential Action: The bill is sent to the President, who can sign it into law or veto it.
First it must be passed in the U.S. House of Representatives and then it is sent to the Senate. Once it is there it is sent to a committee and once it passes the committee it goes to the Senate for voting. If it passes both the House and the Senate it goes to the President for his signature and it becomes a law.
A bill will go to a conference committee when both the Senate and the House disagree on the contents of the bill. A conference committee will then be created to resolve the issue.
After a bill passes the Senate committee, it moves to the full Senate for debate and voting. Senators can propose amendments during the debate, and a majority vote is needed for the bill to advance. If passed by the Senate, the bill then goes to the House of Representatives for consideration. If both chambers approve the bill, it is sent to the President for final approval or veto.
